ATTACHMENT A WILLETT REZONE APPLICATION PLN#124   Staff Report & Recommendation Willett Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#124 Page 1 of 7 COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLANNING & LAND USE DIVISION ARLINGTON AIRPORT OFFICE 18204 59th Ave NE Arlington, WA 98223 8am – 5pm M-F Closed Holidays 360.403.3551 arlingtonwa.gov STAFF REPORT & RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL Minor Land-Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone Willett – PLN#124 Report Prepared By: Troy Davis, Senior Planner Report Issued: June 2, 2015 A. APPLICATION DESCRIPTION This is a request from Applicant Guy C. Willett for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map with a concurrent amendment to the City’s Official Zoning Map that would change the land-use designation and zoning classification on a single lot from Residential Moderate Density to General Commercial (see Exhibit II). B. SITE AND SITUATION The subject 0.78 acre lot (APN 31051000400700) is located in the 6400 block of 211th Place NE in Arlington (address not yet assigned). The topography is flat and mostly cleared. The lot sits below the Arlington Bluff and just outside of the 500-year floodplain according to FEMA maps. No Critical Areas such as wetlands, streams, steep slopes, etc. are present on the lot; however, steep slopes lie to the east and southeast of the property. The soils on site and in the vicinity consist of Lynnwood loamy sand which drains well and is suitable for urban development according to the USDA Soil Survey of Snohomish County. The property is undeveloped (see Exhibit I) and there are currently no active land-use or development proposals on file with the City for this property. The lot is situated on the south side of 211th Place NE just east of the intersection of 211th Place NE and Highway 530. Direct access is taken from 211th Place NE. 211th Place NE is an unimproved arterial. The City’s Comprehensive Plan calls for improving 211th Place NE to 3 lanes with sidewalks, planter strips, and a trail that connects Centennial Trail to Highway 530. 211th Place NE will also be realigned to connect with 59th Ave NE in order to improve traffic safety. Staff Report & Recommendation Willett Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#124 Page 2 of 7 The subject lot is currently zoned Residential Moderate Density and is one of two lots below the bluff that are zoned Residential Moderate Density (the second lot covers land both below and above the bluff). Lots to the west are zoned General Commercial, with lots to the south and east are zoned Residential Moderate Density. Lots to the north are outside the City. Residential properties to the south and east are developed with single family dwellings. Commercial properties to the west are also partially developed with a single-family dwelling on each lot. A sewer lines is located within the right-of-way of 211th Place NE. The nearest water line is 2 blocks east along 66th Ave NE (Ronning Road). C. APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS Arlington Municipal Code allows for any person to petition the Planning Commission and City Council to amend the City’s Comprehensive Plan and/or Land Use Code. The City’s requirements for proposing amendments are found in Arlington Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 20.96 (Amendments). The Future Land Use Map is a required element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan (see RCW 36.70A.070). The Future Land Use Map shows the City’s desired land use patterns by geographical area within both City limits and in unincorporated Urban Growth Areas. The City’s Official Zoning Map is based off of the Future Land Use Map found in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Since the City’s Comprehensive Plan serves as the foundation for the City’s Land Use Code (Title 20), inclusive of the City’s Official Zoning Map, State law requires that the City’s Land Use Code be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan (see RCW 36.70A.130(1)(d)). If a proposed amendment to the City’s Land Use Code is not consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the proposal must either be denied or the Comprehensive Plan must also be concurrently amended to preserve consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use Code. State and City regulations prohibit the comprehensive plan from being amended more frequently than once per year; therefore, the City has established a docketing process so that all proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan can be considered concurrently(see Staff Report & Recommendation Willett Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#124 Page 3 of 7 RCW 36.70A.130 and AMC 20.96.010(d)). Since 2015 is a periodic update year for the City’s Comprehensive Plan, all proposed amendments are being considered concurrently with the periodic update as opposed to the typical docket process which is used during the interim years. This will ensure that amendment to the Comprehensive Plan only occurs once it 2015. Amendment proposals to the City’s Comprehensive Plan may be initiated by the City or any private party. Applications for Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPAs) are due by the last working day of January to be considered that year. During the year staff reviews the proposed amendments for compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan and conformance with the requirements of AMC Chapter 20.96 and presents their findings and recommendations to the Planning Commission at an open record public hearing as required by AMC Section 20.96.030(a). The Planning Commission’s recommendation is then forwarded to the City Council which then takes final action at a closed record hearing. D. STAFF ANALYSIS The Applicant submitted their application requesting a rezone on December 26, 2014, meeting the January 30, 2015 deadline for consideration. Because this rezone request is inconsistent with the Future Land-Use Map contained within the Comprehensive Plan, an amendment to the Future Land- Use Map is necessary if the rezone request is to be approved. AMC Section §20.96.024 establishes criteria that an amendment proposal must meet in order to be considered. AMC Section §20.96.024(a)(1) states: “If the proposed amendment is site specific, the subject property is suitable for development in general conformance with adjacent land use and the surrounding development pattern, and with zoning standards under the potential zoning classifications.” Staff found that the proposed Future Land-Use Map amendment and concurrent rezone request meet this requirement and have included it for consideration as part of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update. 1. CRITERIA OF AMC 20.96.070. In deciding whether to approve any amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Staff Report & Recommendation Willett Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#124 Page 4 of 7 Plan, the approval body must base its decision solely on whether the proposed amendment advances the public health, safety, or welfare. All other arguments relating to the proposed amendment are irrelevant according to AMC §20.96.070. a. Public Health With regards to public health, a change in the Future Land-Use Map for the subject property from a Residential Moderate Density designation to a General Commercial designation would advance the public health by keeping commercial lands within walking distance of residential lands. Easy access from residences to commercial businesses promotes walking, social interaction, and community support of businesses. b. Public Safety With regards to public safety, a change in the Future Land-Use Map for the subject property from a Residential Moderate Density Designation to a General Commercial designation would advance the public safety by utilizing a natural buffer (Arlington Bluff) between residential and commercial uses. c. Public Welfare With regards to public welfare, a change in the Future Land-Use Map for the subject property from a Residential Moderate Density Designation to a General Commercial designation would advance the public welfare by placing similar land uses together on all lands below the Arlington Bluff, above which are zoned residential and below which are zoned commercial with the exception of the subject property. The City currently has about 1,071 acres of Residential Moderate Density zoned land and 255 acres of General Commercial zoned land. A rezone of the subject property would transfer 0.78 undeveloped acres from Residential Moderate Density to General Commercial. Of the 1,071 acres of Residential Moderate Density land in the City, about 28 acres remain vacant. Of the 255 acres of General Commercial Land, 74 acres remain vacant. Densities within the Residential Moderate Density zone averages 4.29 dwelling units per acre. A rezone of the subject 0.78 acre lot would decrease Staff Report & Recommendation Willett Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#124 Page 5 of 7 the City’s housing capacity by an estimated 3.3 dwelling units (4.29 dwellings X 0.78 acres). 2. CRITERIA OF AMC 20.96.026. In deciding whether to approve, modify, defer, or deny any proposed amendment to the City’s Official Zoning Map, the City Council shall base their decision on the following criteria (see 20.96.026): a. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan. The Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan would need to be amended to change the land use designation from Residential Moderate Density to General Commercial for the rezone of the subject lot from Residential Moderate Density to General Commercial to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The City has no goals or policies directly related to the re-designation/rezoning of properties to General Commercial either in the 2005 Comprehensive Plan or the Draft 2015 Comprehensive Plan; however, the rezone of the property is consistent with the purpose of the zoning classification applied for as stated in the Comprehensive Plan and Arlington Municipal Code. b. The proposed amendment is consistent with the scope and purpose of the city's zoning ordinances and the description and purpose of the zone classification applied for. Zone descriptions and purposes are outlined in AMC Chapter 20.36 and the Comprehensive Plan. The description and purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial zone as listed in AMC Chapter 20.36 is “… to accommodate commercial uses generally similar, though more intensive, to the types permissible in Old Town Business District. However, it is intended that this zone be placed along arterials to cater to commuters or as a transition in some areas between a Highway Commercial zone and a residential zone.” The draft 2015 Comprehensive Plan states the General Commercial “…designation is intended to provide areas for a wide range of small to large footprint commercial uses, but typically in areas that would be used predominantly by local users. Such uses Staff Report & Recommendation Willett Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#124 Page 6 of 7 typically are conducted in individual buildings with large parking lots that are located toward the block or site interior and have adequate landscaping and screening. Mixed-use development (both vertical and horizontal) should be permissible.” The proposed amendment (rezone) to the Zoning Map is consistent with the description and purpose of the General Commercial zone provided the Future Land Use Map is amended to designate the subject lot as General Commercial. c. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current zoning map or district to warrant the proposed amendment. Circumstances do not appear to have changed since the establishment of the current zoning map; however, it is important to note that under the City’s prior Unified Development Code, the property was zoned General Commercial in line with the other properties below the bluff that were (and still are) zoned General Commercial. d. The proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with the uses and zoning of surrounding property. The proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with the uses and zoning of surrounding property. The subject lot is adjacent to Residential Moderate zoned land to the east and to the south and abuts General Commercially zoned land to the west. The bluff acts as a natural barrier to the residential lands above, and the commercial lands below (for a comparison of allowed uses between the Residential Moderate Density zone and the General Commercial zone, see Exhibit III). e. The property that is the subject of the amendment is suited for the uses allowed in the proposed zoning classification. The subject lot is suitable for the allowed uses in the General Commercial zone because of its site and situation. f. Adequate public services could be made available to serve the full range of proposed uses in that zone. Staff Report & Recommendation Willett Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#124 Page 7 of 7 Adequate public services are available to serve the full range of allowable uses in the General Commercial zone on this site. E. STAFF CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION 1. Staff concludes that this proposal meets the criterion of the Comprehensive Plan and Arlington Municipal Code for re-designation and rezoning of the subject lot from Residential Moderate Density to General Commercial and recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the City Council.

Holidays 360.403.3551 arlingtonwa.gov STAFF REPORT & RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL Minor Land-Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone ALLEN – PLN#129 Report Prepared By: Troy Davis, Senior Planner Report Issued: June 2, 2015 A. APPLICATION DESCRIPTION This is a request from Applicant Gail Allen for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map with a concurrent amendment to the City’s Official Zoning Map that would change the land-use designation and zoning classification on a single lot from Residential Moderate Density to Neighborhood Commercial (see Exhibit II). B. SITE AND SITUATION The subject 0.38 acre lot (APN 31052000103100) is located at 18725 Smokey Point Boulevard in Arlington. The topography is flat with formal landscaping. No Critical Areas such as wetlands, streams, steep slopes, etc. are present on the lot or within the immediate vicinity. The soils on site and in the vicinity consist of Lynnwood loamy sand which drains well and is suitable for urban development according to the USDA Soil Survey of Snohomish County. The property is developed with a single-family dwelling which is currently used as a residence (see Exhibit I) with a home occupation (Arlington Massage Therapy and Wellness). There are no active land-use or development proposals on file with the City for this property. The lot is situated at the southeast corner of 188th Street NE and Smokey Point Boulevard. The lot has private access from Smokey Point Boulevard. Both Smokey Point Boulevard and 188th Street NE are unimproved roads at this location. The City’s Comprehensive Plan identifies future roadway improvements to both 188th Street NE and Smokey Point Boulevard. Smokey Point Boulevard is designated to be a five-lane arterial complete with bike lanes, planter strips, sidewalk, and a trail from 172nd Street NE to 188th Street NE and 188th Street NE is designated to be a three-lane arterial complete with bike lanes, planter strips, sidewalks, and a trail. Staff Report & Recommendation Allen Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#129 Page 2 of 9 The subject lot is currently zoned Residential Moderate Density and is one of four parcels surrounding the intersection of Smokey Point Boulevard and 188th Street NE. The parcel on the southwest corner of the intersection is zoned Neighborhood Commercial, while the lots on the northwest and northeast corners are zoned Highway Commercial. The parcel on the southwest corner is partially developed with a manufactured home which serves as a residence. The parcel on the northwest corner is developed as a commercial business (The Longhorn), and the parcel on the northeast corner remains undeveloped. The Adjacent properties to the lot on the south and east sides are also zoned Residential Moderate Density (same as the subject lot) and are each developed with a single-family dwelling. Water and sewer lines are located within the rights- of-way of Smokey Point Boulevard and 188th Street NE and the subject lot is currently served by both City sewer and water. C. APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS Arlington Municipal Code allows for any person to petition the Planning Commission and City Council to amend the City’s Comprehensive Plan and/or Land Use Code. The City’s requirements for proposing amendments are found in Arlington Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 20.96 (Amendments). The Future Land Use Map is a required element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan (see RCW 36.70A.070). The Future Land Use Map shows the City’s desired land use patterns by geographical area within both City limits and in unincorporated Urban Growth Areas. The City’s Official Zoning Map is based off of the Future Land Use Map found in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Since the City’s Comprehensive Plan serves as the foundation for the City’s Land Use Code (Title 20), inclusive of the City’s Official Zoning Map, State law requires that the City’s Land Use Code be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan (see RCW 36.70A.130(1)(d)). If a proposed amendment to the City’s Land Use Code is not consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the proposal must either be denied or the Comprehensive Plan must also be Staff Report & Recommendation Allen Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#129 Page 3 of 9 concurrently amended to preserve consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use Code. State and City regulations prohibit the comprehensive plan from being amended more frequently than once per year; therefore, the City has established a docketing process so that all proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan can be considered concurrently(see RCW 36.70A.130 and AMC 20.96.010(d)). Since 2015 is a periodic update year for the City’s Comprehensive Plan, all proposed amendments are being considered concurrently with the periodic update as opposed to the typical docket process which is used during the interim years. This will ensure that amendment to the Comprehensive Plan only occurs once it 2015. Amendment proposals to the City’s Comprehensive Plan may be initiated by the City or any private party. Applications for Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPAs) are due by the last working day of January to be considered that year. During the year staff reviews the proposed amendments for compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan and conformance with the requirements of AMC Chapter 20.96 and presents their findings and recommendations to the Planning Commission at an open record public hearing as required by AMC Section 20.96.030(a). The Planning Commission’s recommendation is then forwarded to the City Council which then takes final action at a closed record hearing. D. STAFF ANALYSIS The Applicant submitted their application requesting a rezone on January 14, 2015, meeting the January 30, 2015 deadline for consideration. Because this rezone request is inconsistent with the Future Land-Use Map contained within the Comprehensive Plan, an amendment to the Future Land- Use Map is necessary if the rezone request is to be approved. AMC Section §20.96.024 establishes criteria that an amendment proposal must meet in order to be considered. AMC Section §20.96.024(a)(1) states: “If the proposed amendment is site specific, the subject property is suitable for development in general conformance with adjacent land use and the surrounding development pattern, and with zoning standards under the potential zoning Staff Report & Recommendation Allen Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#129 Page 4 of 9 classifications.” Staff found that the proposed Future Land-Use Map amendment and concurrent rezone request meet this requirement and have included it for consideration as part of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update. 1. CRITERIA OF AMC 20.96.070. In deciding whether to approve any amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the approval body must base its decision solely on whether the proposed amendment advances the public health, safety, or welfare. All other arguments relating to the proposed amendment are irrelevant according to AMC §20.96.070. a. Public Health With regards to public health, a change in the Future Land-Use Map for the subject property from a Residential Moderate Density designation to a Neighborhood Commercial designation would not be detrimental to the public health as a designation to Neighborhood Commercial would allow for land uses that serve the local neighborhood. Under the Neighborhood Commercial designation, the existing home-occupation on site (massage therapy) could be expanded. Examples of such uses that could advance the public health that are not now permitted under the Residential Moderate Density designation but would be under the proposed Neighborhood Commercial designation would include convenience stores, professional offices for dentist and physicians, restaurants, outdoor markets, and day care centers (for a full comparison of allowed uses between zones see Exhibit III). b. Public Safety With regards to public safety, a change in the Future Land-Use Map for the subject property from a Residential Moderate Density Designation to a Neighborhood Commercial Designation would likely have no detrimental impact on public safety. Having neighborhood commercial services on the southeast corner of Smokey Point Boulevard and 188th Street NE would put nearby residences to the east and south safe pedestrian access to neighborhood commercial services, as they would not have to cross an arterial roadway to get there. c. Public Welfare Staff Report & Recommendation Allen Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#129 Page 5 of 9 With regards to public welfare, a change in the Future Land-Use Map for the subject property from a Residential Moderate Density Designation to a Neighborhood Commercial Designation would have no impact to the future character envisioned for Smokey Point Boulevard since the property is already developed. This proposal is also consistent with the adopted West Arlington Subarea Plan which calls for commercial uses along Smokey Point Boulevard north of 172nd Street NE. A rezone of the property would allow the current home- occupation to operate as a regular business, utilizing the entirety of the existing building. The City currently has about 503 acres of Residential Moderate Density zoned land, much of which is already developed. The City currently has about 29 acres of Neighborhood Commercial zoned land, 9 acres (or 31%) of which are vacant (these numbers do not include lands that are partially developed or suitable for redevelopment). A re- designation of the subject 0.38 acre lot from Residential Moderate Density to Neighborhood Commercial would virtually have no impact on the amount of RMD land available for development being that the property is already developed. While the property is technically sub-dividable, it has been developed in such a way that subdivision of the lot is not practical. 2. CRITERIA OF AMC 20.96.026. In deciding whether to approve, modify, defer, or deny any proposed amendment to the City’s Official Zoning Map, the City Council shall base their decision on the following criteria (see 20.96.026): a. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan. The Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan would need to be amended to change the land use designation from Residential Moderate Density to Neighborhood Commercial for the rezone of the subject lot from Residential Moderate Density to Neighborhood Commercial to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The 2005 Comprehensive Plan’s goal GL-11 states “Promote Neighborhood Commercial uses in appropriate places” followed by PL-11.1 and PL- 11.2 which state the following: Staff Report & Recommendation Allen Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#129 Page 6 of 9 “Allow the re-designation and rezoning of appropriate property to the neighborhood commercial zone when a proposal meets all of the following criteria and any others as listed in the Zoning Code: Neighborhood Commercial zones shall be located on an intersection of two public rights-of-way, one of which must have a roadway classification of Arterial or greater. No property may be zoned Neighborhood Commercial if there is at least one other property with a similar zone allowing comparable services within a radius of one-half mile. No more than one acre of land may be zoned for Neighborhood Commercial at any intersection. “Neighborhood Commercial is not a euphemism for ‘convenience store commercial,’ and it is the intent of this policy to promote pedestrian- oriented commercial uses catering to a neighborhood, not commuters. Proposed uses should clearly reflect this intent.” The above criteria listed in Policy PL-11.1 makes it almost impossible to rezone any property within the City to Neighborhood Commercial. Of the City’s existing five neighborhood commercial zoned areas, none fully meet this criteria. The underlying policies, then, make it difficult for the City to “promote Neighborhood Commercial Uses in appropriate places” as stated in goal GL-11. As part of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update, PL- 11.1 and PL-11.2 are being removed from the City’s Comprehensive Plan because they are not conducive to promoting GL-11. The proposed new policies under Goal GL-11 (now GL-10) in the 2015 Comprehensive Plan state: “PL-10.1 A re-designation and rezoning of lots to neighborhood commercial may be approved by the City (at the City’s discretion) when a lot meets all of the following criteria and any others as listed in Title 20 of the AMC: 1. The lot is located at the intersection of two public rights-of-way, where at least one right-of-way has a roadway classification (whether existing or proposed) of arterial or greater OR is adjacent to another Neighborhood Commercial zoned lot and has Staff Report & Recommendation Allen Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#129 Page 7 of 9 direct access to an arterial roadway and is within 660 feet of an intersection. 2. The lot has existing and legal direct access to at least one arterial right-of-way prior to the reclassification and rezone request. The lot is adjacent to or abutting on at least one side to another lot zoned Neighborhood Commercial and/or residential (RLD, RMD, RHD).” Under these proposed policies, the re-designation and rezone of the subject lot will be consistent with the goals and policies of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan. b. The proposed amendment is consistent with the scope and purpose of the city's zoning ordinances and the description and purpose of the zone classification applied for. Zone descriptions and purposes are outlined in AMC Chapter 20.36 and the Comprehensive Plan. The description and purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial zone as listed in AMC Chapter 20.36 is “…to accommodate commercial activities that would meet the daily convenience needs of people residing or working in the environs.” The draft 2015 Comprehensive Plan states the Neighborhood Commercial “…designation should provide for retail and service businesses that serve the limited convenience shopping and personal service needs to the immediate surrounding neighborhood. Generally this designation is appropriate for lots that are located on the corner of an intersection where at least one adjacent road is classified as an arterial or greater.” The proposed amendment (rezone) to the Zoning Map is consistent with the description and purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial zone provided the Future Land Use Map is amended to designate the subject lot as Neighborhood Commercial. c. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current zoning map or district to warrant the proposed amendment. As the City has grown, traffic flows on Smokey Point Boulevard and 188th Street have increased. The recently completed Airport Boulevard to the east of the subject lot have help improved traffic circulation in the area. Consequently, the subject Staff Report & Recommendation Allen Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#129 Page 8 of 9 lot has become situated at a highly visible and active street corner and is therefore better suited for commercial activity as opposed to residential use. d. The proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with the uses and zoning of surrounding property. The proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with the uses and zoning of surrounding property. The subject lot is adjacent to Residential Moderate zoned land to the east and to the south. The property abuts Neighborhood Commercial to the west and Highway Commercial to the north. These surrounding zoning classifications are not incompatible with the proposed Neighborhood Commercial zoning classification for the subject lot (for a comparison of allowed uses between the Residential Moderate Density zone and the Neighborhood Commercial zone, see Exhibit III). e. The property that is the subject of the amendment is suited for the uses allowed in the proposed zoning classification. The subject lot is suitable for the allowed uses in the Neighborhood Commercial zone because of its site and situation. f. Adequate public services could be made available to serve the full range of proposed uses in that zone. Adequate public services are available at the site to serve the full range of allowable uses in the Neighborhood Commercial zone. E. STAFF CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION 1. Staff concludes that this proposal meets the criterion of the Comprehensive Plan and Arlington Municipal Code for re-designation and rezoning of the subject lot from Residential Moderate Density to Neighborhood Commercial and recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the City Council.

M-F Closed Holidays 360.403.3551 arlingtonwa.gov STAFF REPORT & RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL Minor Land-Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone WD Arlington Investments – PLN#134 Report Prepared By: Troy Davis, Senior Planner Report Issued: June 2, 2015 A. APPLICATION DESCRIPTION This is a request from Applicant WD Arlington Investments, LLC for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map with a concurrent amendment to the City’s Official Zoning Map that would change the land-use designation and zoning classification on three adjacent lots from General Commercial to Residential High Density (see Exhibit II). B. SITE AND SITUATION The subject lots were created out of the original Jay-Three Two Plat and consist of lots 3, 4, and 5 of the Jay-Three Two Short Plat that was created after the creation of the original Jay-Three Two Plat. Lots 3, 4, and 5 are 1.19, 1.46, and 2.63 acres respectively (APNs 00829100000103, 00829100000104, and 00829100000105 respectively) and are located in the 20200 and 20300 blocks of 77th Ave NE (address not yet assigned). Shortly after the Jay-Three Two Short Plat was recorded, Lot 3 was zoned General Commercial and Lots 4 and 5 were split zoned between General Commercial and Residential High Density. Staff could not locate official city records that indicate the exact portion of each lot that belongs to each zone or why the lots where split zoned to begin with. Per the City’s Official Zoning Map it is estimated that roughly half of Lot 4 is zoned General Commercial and the other half Residential High Density, putting 0.73 acres of the 1.46 acre lot into both zones. It is also roughly estimated that a quarter of Lot 5 is zoned General Commercial while the other three quarters are zoned Residential High Density, putting 0.66 acres in General Commercial and 1.97 acres in Residential High Density of the 2.63 acre lot. Properties south of the subject lots are zoned Residential High Density with properties to the north and west zoned General Commercial and properties to the east zoned Residential Moderate Density. Properties immediately to the south are also vacant; however, lots two blocks to the south are developed Staff Report & Recommendation WDAI Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#134 Page 2 of 8 with multi-family housing. Properties to the north and west are developed with commercial businesses and properties to the east are developed with single- family homes. The topography of the subject lots is generally flat grassland that slopes gently to the south, southwest. No Critical Areas such as wetlands, streams, steep slopes, etc. are known to be present on the lots. Portage Creek runs east of the property. The soils on site and in the vicinity consist of Norma loam which is a deep soil situated in depressional outwash plains that drains poorly. The property is cleared and vacant (see Exhibit I). There are no active land-use or development proposals on file with the City for this property; however, the applicant has indicated the desire to build multi- family dwellings on the site. The lots are situated on the east side of 77th Ave NE one block south of 204th Street NE. Access to the lots will be taken from 77th Ave NE when they are developed. 77th Ave NE is a Local Access road that connects to 204th Street NE (an arterial) to the north and dead ends in the 20000 block to the south. The right-of-way in front of the lots is not fully improved and sidewalk installation will be required at the time of development. City water and sewer lines are located within the right-of-way of 77th Ave NE. C. APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS Arlington Municipal Code allows for any person to petition the Planning Commission and City Council to amend the City’s Comprehensive Plan and/or Land Use Code. The City’s requirements for proposing amendments are found in Arlington Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 20.96 (Amendments). The Future Land Use Map is a required element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan (see RCW 36.70A.070). The Future Land Use Map shows the City’s desired land use patterns by geographical area within both City limits and in unincorporated Urban Growth Areas. The City’s Official Zoning Map is based off of the Future Land Use Map found in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Staff Report & Recommendation WDAI Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#134 Page 3 of 8 Since the City’s Comprehensive Plan serves as the foundation for the City’s Land Use Code (Title 20), inclusive of the City’s Official Zoning Map, State law requires that the City’s Land Use Code be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan (see RCW 36.70A.130(1)(d)). If a proposed amendment to the City’s Land Use Code is not consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the proposal must either be denied or the Comprehensive Plan must also be concurrently amended to preserve consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use Code. State and City regulations prohibit the comprehensive plan from being amended more frequently than once per year; therefore, the City has established a docketing process so that all proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan can be considered concurrently(see RCW 36.70A.130 and AMC 20.96.010(d)). Since 2015 is a periodic update year for the City’s Comprehensive Plan, all proposed amendments are being considered concurrently with the periodic update as opposed to the typical docket process which is used during the interim years. This will ensure that amendment to the Comprehensive Plan only occurs once it 2015. Amendment proposals to the City’s Comprehensive Plan may be initiated by the City or any private party. Applications for Comprehensive Plan Amendments (CPAs) are due by the last working day of January to be considered that year. During the year staff reviews the proposed amendments for compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan and conformance with the requirements of AMC Chapter 20.96 and presents their findings and recommendations to the Planning Commission at an open record public hearing as required by AMC Section 20.96.030(a). The Planning Commission’s recommendation is then forwarded to the City Council which then takes final action at a closed record hearing. D. STAFF ANALYSIS The Applicant submitted their application requesting a rezone on January 30, 2015, meeting the January 30, 2015 deadline for consideration. Because this rezone request is inconsistent with the Future Land-Use Map contained within the Comprehensive Plan, an amendment to the Future Land- Use Map is necessary if the rezone request is to be approved. Staff Report & Recommendation WDAI Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#134 Page 4 of 8 AMC Section §20.96.024 establishes criteria that an amendment proposal must meet in order to be considered. AMC Section §20.96.024(a)(1) states: “If the proposed amendment is site specific, the subject property is suitable for development in general conformance with adjacent land use and the surrounding development pattern, and with zoning standards under the potential zoning classifications.” Staff found that the proposed Future Land-Use Map amendment and concurrent rezone request meet this requirement and have included it for consideration as part of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update. 1. CRITERIA OF AMC 20.96.070. In deciding whether to approve any amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the approval body must base its decision solely on whether the proposed amendment advances the public health, safety, or welfare. All other arguments relating to the proposed amendment are irrelevant according to AMC §20.96.070. a. Public Health With regards to public health, a change in the Future Land-Use Map for the subject lots from a General Commercial designation to a Residential High Density designation would not be detrimental to the public health as it would put residences within easy walking distance of commercial services which encourages physical activity and alternate modes of transportation (walking, biking, mass transit). b. Public Safety With regards to public safety, a change in the Future Land-Use Map for the subject property from a General Commercial designation to a Residential High Density designation would likely have no detrimental impact on public safety. Multi-family housing permitted under Residential High Density places more “eyes on the street”, making it more difficult for criminals to conceal illicit activity and thus discourages crime. c. Public Welfare With regards to public welfare, a change in the Future Land-Use Map for the subject property from a General Commercial designation to a Residential High Density designation would have no negative impact to the public welfare. The development of multi-family housing under the Residential High Staff Report & Recommendation WDAI Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#134 Page 5 of 8 Density designation would benefit the public welfare by providing additional housing opportunities within the City. The City currently has about 255 acres of General Commercial zoned land and 254 acres of Residential High Density zoned land. A rezone of the subject lots would transfer roughly 2.58 undeveloped acres from General Commercial to Residential High Density. Of the 255 acres of General Commercial land within the City 74 acres are vacant. Of the 254 acres of Residential High Density land within the City 44 acres are vacant. A rezone of the subject lots would transfer roughly 2.58 undeveloped acres from General Commercial to Residential High Density. Density within the RHD zone averages 8.73 dwelling units per acre. A rezone of the subject lots would increase the City’s housing capacity by an estimated 23 dwelling units (8.73 dwellings X 2.58 acres). 2. CRITERIA OF AMC 20.96.026. In deciding whether to approve, modify, defer, or deny any proposed amendment to the City’s Official Zoning Map, the City Council shall base their decision on the following criteria (see 20.96.026): a. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan. The Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan would need to be amended to change the land use designation from General Commercial to Residential High Density for the rezone of the subject lot from General Commercial to Residential High Density to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. General Land Use Policy 1.6 in the 2005 Comprehensive Plan states, “This designation [Residential High Density] shall primarily provide for multi-family…residential development…where a full range of public facilities and services that support urban development exists or can be provided. Generally, this designation is appropriate for land that is located convenient to principle arterials and to business and commercial activity centers.” Staff Report & Recommendation WDAI Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#134 Page 6 of 8 This is similar to the proposed policy PL-1.4 in the draft 2015 Comprehensive Plan which states, “This designation should provide for multi-family and other high-density residential development… where a full range of public facilities and services that support urban development exist or can be provided. Generally, this designation is appropriate for land that is located convenient to principle arterials and commercial areas.” The proposed rezone of the subject lots meet this criteria because the subject lots are a) within proximity to urban services and facilities and b) the lots are conveniently located next to an arterial (204th Street NE) and a commercial center (Kent Prairie). Policy PH-2.1 states “Locate multi-family residential uses within the existing sewer service area and phase it into the projected sewer service areas as shown in the City’s Sewer Comprehensive Plan.” The subject lots are within the City’s existing sewer service area making them suitable for multi- family development. Policy PH-2.2 (Policy PH-2.1 in the 2015 Comprehensive Plan) states “Designate multi-family housing areas close to commercial and employment centers, transportation facilities, public services, schools, and park and recreation areas.” The subject lots are close to commercial and employment centers (Kent Prairie, MIC), transportation facilities (near Highway 9 and Transit Stop on 204th Street NE), public services (accessible to utility lines, emergency services, etc.), schools (Kent Prairie Elementary), and park and recreation areas (Jensen Park, Portage Creek Trail). Policy PL-7.2 states “Plan for higher density housing around commercial areas” The subject lots are within the vicinity of the Kent Prairie commercial center. b. The proposed amendment is consistent with the scope and purpose of the city's zoning ordinances Staff Report & Recommendation WDAI Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#134 Page 7 of 8 and the description and purpose of the zone classification applied for. Zone descriptions and purposes are outlined in AMC Chapter 20.36 and the Comprehensive Plan. The description and purpose of the Residential High Density zone as listed in AMC Chapter 20.36 is “…designed primarily to accommodate higher density multi-family developments and recreational, quasi- public, and public uses that customarily serve residential development in areas served by public sewer and water facilities.” The Comprehensive Plan states the Residential High Density “…designation should provide for multi-family and other high-density residential development…where a full range of public facilities and services that support urban development exist or can be provided. Generally, this designation is appropriate for land that is located convenient to principle arterials and commercial areas.” The proposed amendment (rezone) to the Zoning Map is consistent with the description and purpose of the Residential High Density zone provided the Future Land Use Map is amended to designate the subject lots as Residential High Density. c. Circumstances have changed substantially since the establishment of the current zoning map or district to warrant the proposed amendment. As development has occurred in the Kent Prairie commercial center, the subject lots have lost visibility from nearby arterials (204th Street NE and Highway 9) which visibility is essential to commercial businesses. 77th Ave NE also never became a through street (the street dead-ends in a multi-family development) which is necessary for commercial activity to thrive. The subject lot zoned General Commercial and the two adjacent subject lots that are split zoned between General Commercial and Residential High Density would now better be suitable for Residential High-Density Development, placing potential customers and employees within close proximity to nearby commercial and industrial businesses. d. The proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with the uses and zoning of surrounding property. The proposed Residential High Density zoning is consistent and compatible with the uses and zoning Staff Report & Recommendation WDAI Land Use Map Amendment & Concurrent Rezone – PLN#134 Page 8 of 8 of surrounding properties. The RHD zoning would match the existing zoning of both vacant and developed Residential High Density lots to the south, abut General Commercial zoned land to the north and west, and adjoin developed Residential Moderate Density lots to the east. The Residential High Density would serve as an appropriate buffer between General Commercial zoned properties and Residential Moderate zoned properties (for a comparison of allowed uses between General Commercial and Residential High Density, see Exhibit III). e. The property that is the subject of the amendment is suited for the uses allowed in the proposed zoning classification. The subject lot is suitable for the allowed uses in the Residential High Density zone because of its site and situation. f. Adequate public services could be made available to serve the full range of proposed uses in that zone. Adequate public services are available at the site to serve the full range of allowable uses in the Residential High Density zone. E. STAFF CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION 1. Staff concludes that this proposal meets the criterion of the Comprehensive Plan and Arlington Municipal Code for re-designation and rezoning of the subject lots from General Commercial to Residential High Density and recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the City Council.

DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Airport EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: The Airport is in need of a Ground Communication Outlet (GCO). The Airport currently has limited ground reception with local Air Traffic Control. A GCO will give pilots reliable ground reception at the Airport. The GCO will allow pilots to open and close their flight plans on the ground from the radio inside their aircraft as opposed to a pilot having to call on a cell phone or land line. A Sole Source Resolution is required because Avtech Marketing Inc., is the only producer of a digital Ground Communications Outlet. City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item WS #3 Attachment C HISTORY: For at least 10 years Airport Staff has attempted to improve ground reception at the Airport with local Air Traffic Control. The optimal way to fix this issue would be for the FAA to install a Remote Communications Outlet (RCO). The FAA is no longer installing RCO’s. For the past year Airport Staff has been working with the FAA, tenants and airports across the country on a solution to the reception issue. The next best option for the Airport is a GCO. A GCO is a phone line at the airport that pilots can access from the radio in their aircraft. This phone line will allow for direct and reliable communication with Air Traffic Control as well as additional possibilities such as the Airport Office, 911 and Flight Service. Avtech Marketing Inc., currently is the only producer of a digital signal processor, voice activated and fully interactive Ground Communications Outlet (see attached letter). The resolution will allow staff to buy directly from Avtech Marketing Inc. without having to get bids, which would be a moot point since Avtech, Inc. is the sole distributor. RCW 35.23.352(9) permits the waiving of bidding requirements for purchases that are clearly and legitimately limited to a single source of supply. Staff is requesting the Airport Commission and City Council approve the resolution allowing the bid requirements to be waived for the purchase of a digital Ground Communications Outlet for the Airport. The Resolution will be presented to the Airport Commission at their June 9, 2015 meeting. The GCO with installation will cost $10,150. The GCO is not budgeted in the 2015 budget, but from the result of multiple projects coming in under budget there will be sufficient funds to purchase the unit. ALTERNATIVES Approve Staff’s Recommendation with Modifications Table Staff’s Recommendation Deny Staff’s Recommendation RECOMMENDED MOTION: Workshop; discussion only. At the next meeting the recommended motion will be, “I move to approve the proposed resolution allowing the Airport to waive the bidding requirements on the purchase of a GroundLink VA Ground Communications Outlet pending City Attorney review of the Sole Source Resolution.”     RESOLUTION NO. _____ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON TO WAIVE BID REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PURCHASE OF A GROUND COMMUNICATIONS OUTLET FOR USE BY THE CITY OF ARLINGTON AIRPORT WHEREAS, the City of Arlington Airport has limited ground reception to Air Traffic Control; and WHEREAS, to improve ground reception with Air Traffic Control the purchase of a GroundLinkVA Ground Communications Outlet from a single vendor is required; and WHEREAS Avtech Marketing, Inc. is the sole representative authorized to sell a digital signal processor, voice activated and fully interactive Ground Communications Outlet; and WHEREAS, RCW 35.23.352(9) permits the waiving of bidding requirements for the purchase of materials which are clearly and legitimately limited to a single source of supply or services which are subject to special market conditions; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Arlington, as follows: Section 1: The City Council of the City of Arlington hereby finds that its infrastructure needs are clearly and legitimately limited to a single source of supply and therefore waives the bidding requirements for the purchase of a GroundLink VA Ground Communications Outlet for use by the City of Arlington Airport. Section 2: This resolution will be effective for three (3) years from the date of adoption. APPROVED by the Mayor and City Council of the City of Arlington this 15th day of June 2015.

See Attachment “A” describing scope of work to be performed. HISTORY: In 2014 the City applied for, and was successful in being awarded CDBG funds for the 2015 construction of the Haller Park Restroom / Community Activity Shelter, which was based on a facility that Snohomish County Parks constructed. The original design for the facility was created in 1994 and has not been updated to current building codes since that time, as such, the hand drawn construction documents need to conform to the International Codes (Building, Plumbing, and Electrical) along with updated revisions to the specifications for acceptable bid documents. In order to accomplish this the original drawings will be scanned and converted into editable CAD files so that the required revisions may be made by the architect, along with Structural, Mechanical and Electrical review and revisions.
